IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Do not store or use gasoline, or other flammable liquids in
the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read product
labels for warnings regarding flammability and other
hazards.
Do not operate the refrigerator in the presence of
explosive fumes.
Avoid contact with any moving parts of automatic ice
maker.
Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause
severe cuts, and also destroy finishes if they come in
contact with other appliances or furniture.
CHILD SAFETY
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any exterior
wrapping material immediately after the refrigerator is
unpacked. Children should NEVER use these items to play.
Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or
stretch wrap may become airtight chambers, and can quickly
cause suffocation.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated
115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only electric outlet. The power cord
of the appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding
plug for your protection against electrical shock hazards. It
must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-
prong receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in
accordance with local codes and ordinances. Consult a
qualified electrician. Do not use an extension cord or
adapter plug.
If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by the
manufacturer, service technician or a qualified person to
prevent any risk.
Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out
from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before
replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.
Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by
10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient
power can damage the compressor. Such damage is
not covered under your warranty.
Do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall
switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being
turned off accidentally.
Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor
(GFI) circuit.
PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR OR
FREEZER
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation
are not problems of the past.
Junked or abandoned
refrigerators or freezers are still
dangerous – even if they will sit for
“just a few days. If you are getting
rid of your old refrigerator or
freezer, please follow the
instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator/ freezer:
Remove doors.
Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb
inside.

AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
HOW THE WATER DISPENSER WORKS
The water tank, located behind the drawers in the refrigerator
compartment, automatically fills as water is dispensed. For
proper dispenser operation, the recommended supply water
pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi.
After the refrigerator is connected to the water supply, fill the
water tank by drawing one glass of water. It may take about
1½ minutes after activating the dispenser paddle before water
begins to fill this first glass. Continue flushing the system for 3
minutes to rid the tank and plumbing connections of any
impurities. The water dispenser has a built in shutoff device
that will stop the water flow after 3 minutes of continuous use.
Simply release the dispenser paddle to reset the shutoff
mechanism.
HOW THE ICE DISPENSER WORKS -SIDE MOUNTED
The ice maker and container are located in the top of the
freezer compartment. After the refrigerator is installed properly
and has cooled for several
hours, the ice maker can
begin making ice within 24
hours. Air in new plumbing
lines may cause the ice
maker to cycle two or three
times before making a full
tray of ice. To begin ice
production, lower the wire
signal arm to the "down" or
ON position. With no usage it
will take approximately 2
days to fill the ice container.
The ice maker turns off automatically when the ice container
becomes full. To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until
it clicks, and locks in the "up" or OFF position.
CAUTION CAUTION
CAUTION CAUTION
CAUTION
Water pressure must not exceed 100 lbs. Excessive
pressure may cause water filter to malfunction.
Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage
the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected to soft
water, ensure that the softener is maintained and
working properly.
ON

Wire
Signal Arm
HOW THE ICE DISPENSER WORKS -REAR MOUNTED
The ice maker and container are located in the top of the
freezer compartment. After the
refrigerator is installed
properly and has cooled for
several hours, the ice maker
can begin making ice within
24 hours. Air in new plumbing
lines may cause the ice maker
to cycle two or three times
before making a full tray of ice.
Ice production is controlled by
the ice maker’s On/Off power
switch. Press the switch to the
OFF
ON
O” position to turn it Off and press it to the “I” position to turn it
On. With no usage it will take approximately 2 days to fill the ice
container. The ice maker also has a built-in wire signal
arm,which automatically stops ice production when the ice bin
is full. This signal arm should not be used to manually stop the
ice maker.
The ice maker produces 4 to 6 pounds of ice every 24 hours
depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8
cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.
Because of new plumbing connections, the first production of
ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor. These
should be discarded until the cubes made are free of
discoloration and taste.
ICE DISPENSER TIPS
Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor.
Empty the ice container and ensure that the wire signal
arm is in its “down” or ON position (side mounted) or the
ice maker’s On/Off power switch is turned On-set to the “I
position (rear mounted). The ice maker will then produce
more ice.
Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice
separated.
Keep the wire signal arm in its “up” or OFF position (side
mounted) or the ice maker’s On/Off power switch turned
Off-set to the “O” position (rear mounted) until the
refrigerator is connected to the water supply or whenever
the water supply is turned off.
ICE AND WATER DISPENSER FEATURES
The ice and water dispenser conveniently dispenses chilled
water, and ice cubes or crushed ice, depending on the model.
To operate the ice dispenser, select the ice option desired
using the touchpad. Press a glass against the dispensing
paddle as far up as possible to catch all ice. To stop
dispensing ice, pull glass away from dispensing paddle. Do
not remove the glass until the ice has completely dispensed.
(Complete instructions for the dispenser operation are
attached to the inside of the freezer door.)

FOOD STORAGE & ENERGY SAVING IDEAS
FOOD STORAGE IDEAS
Fresh Food Storage
The fresh food compartment should be kept between 34°
F and 40° F with an optimum temperature of 37° F.
Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This reduces
the circulation of air around the food and results in uneven
cooling.
Fruits and Vegetables
Storage in the crisper drawers traps moisture to help
preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer time
periods.
Meat
Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely so
leakage and contamination of other foods or surfaces
does not occur.
Frozen Food Storage
The freezer compartment should be kept at 0° F or lower.
A freezer operates most efficiently when it is at least 2/3
full.
Packaging Foods for Freezing
To minimize dehydration and quality deterioration, use
aluminum foil, freezer wrap, freezer bags or airtight
containers. Force as much air out of the packages as
possible and seal them tightly. Trapped air can cause food
to dry out, change color, and develop an off-flavor (freezer
burn).
Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer wrap
prior to freezing.
Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.
Loading the Freezer
Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at one
time. This overloads the freezer, slows the rate of freezing,
and can raise the temperature of frozen foods.
Leave a space between the packages, so cold air can
circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as
possible.
Avoid storing hard-to-freeze foods such as ice cream and
orange juice on the freezer door shelves. These foods are
best stored in the freezer interior where the temperature
varies less.
ENERGY SAVING IDEAS
Locate the refrigerator in the coolest
part of the room, out of direct sunlight,
and away from heating ducts or
registers. Do not place the refrigerator
next to heat-producing appliances such
as a range, oven, or dishwasher. If this
is not possible, a section of cabinetry or an added layer of
insulation between the two appliances will help the refrigerator
operate more efficiently.
Level the refrigerator so that the doors close tightly.
Refer to this Use & Care Manual for the suggested
temperature control settings.
Periodic cleaning of the condenser will help the
refrigerator run more efficiently. See the
Care and
Cleaning Chart
on page 18.
Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents.
Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer and use
more energy.
Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them
in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up
inside the unit.
Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings.
Remove as many items as needed at one time and close
the door as soon as possible.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS & SIGHTS
UNDERSTANDING THE SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
Your new high-efficiency refrigerator may make unfamiliar
sounds. These are all normal sounds and soon will become
familiar to you. They also indicate your refrigerator is operating
as designed. Hard surfaces, such as vinyl or wood floors,
walls, and kitchen cabinets may make sounds more
noticeable. Listed below are descriptions of some of the most
common sounds you may hear, and what is causing them.
A. Evaporator
The flow of refrigerant through the evaporator may
create a boiling or gurgling sound.
B. Evaporator Fan
You may hear air being forced through the refrigerator
by the evaporator fan.
C. Defrost Heater
During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the defrost
heater may cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After
defrosting, a popping sound may occur.
D. Automatic Ice Maker
If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice
maker, you will hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin.
E. Cold Control & Automatic Defrost Control
These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound
when turning the refrigerator on and off.
F. Condenser Fan
You may hear air being forced through the condenser
by the condenser fan.
G. Compressor
Modern, high-efficiency compressors operate much
faster than older models. The compressor may have a
high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.
H. Water Valve
If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice
maker, you will hear a buzzing sound as the water
valve opens to fill the ice maker during each cycle.

CARE & CLEANING
Keep your refrigerator and freezer clean to prevent odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean both sections at
least twice a year. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any surface. Do
not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.
CAUTION CAUTION
CAUTION CAUTION
CAUTION
When moving the refrigerator, pull straight out. Do not shift the refrigerator from side to side as this may damage the
floor. Be careful not to move the refrigerator beyond the plumbing connections.
Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or damp hands.
Never use CHLORIDE to clean stainless steel.
NOTENOTE
